Industrial Center Breaks Ground In Loxley

The Baldwin County Economic Development Alliance has announced that ground has been broken on the Port Alabama Industrial Center in Loxley. The three-phase, 900-acre, 12-million-ft² site is on the southwest corner of Interstate 10 (I-10) and Highway 59 on the north side of Highway 90. It is the closest and, by far, largest contiguous site to the Port of Mobile. Dallas-based real estate development and investment firm Gulf Corp. owns the property. Its CEO, Austin Ames, said the company “is excited to have the privilege to acquire such a special property in Baldwin County, a property that has not changed hands since the mid-1800s. We believe our planned development activities will be the tip of the iceberg in the logistics and industrial capabilities of the entire Gulf Coast. The Port Alabama site is not only the premier industrial site of the Gulf Coast and Southeastern region, but one of the premier sites on the entire I-10 corridor from coast to coast.”
